Sorry guys I should have elaborated, wrote it quick as only had the interview at 12 then rushed to my nans funeral

Basically I worked at the same place 2 1/2 years ago but for Skoda until I started training to be a Spark. Work has dried up big time and I need to start earning money again. I also don't qualify till June so needed an employer to let me have Mondays off for college. Because I did such a good job at Skoda they want me at Lexus and are willing to let me have the time off

In short I look after all the cars on site, deliver new cars to customers and organise and do the driving on event days and track days. Sounds lame but from Lexus's point of view it's one of the most important jobs there as there very controlled and have regular suprise visits off the high up bosses etc and get fined big time and lose funding.

I'll be driving every car they have pretty much everywhere at some point there will only be 4 LFA's in the UK and the one in Chester will be shown off

Nice easy job to tide me over till I'm sorted at college

Don't get me wrong though it's hard work at times driving around 90K cars needs a lot of care attention
